Kemi Badenoch has promised to win back voters who have deserted the Conservatives after securing an historic victory in the party's leadership contest.
The 44-year-old becomes the first black woman to lead a major political party in the UK.
She defeated fellow right-winger Robert Jenrick, 42, by 12,418 votes after a marathon contest to replace Rishi Sunak, who led the party to the biggest defeat in its history in July's general election.
In her victory speech, Badenoch promised to "renew" the party and told cheering supporters it was "time to get down to business".

Anyone will be better than the crooked-toothed atheist pederasts that have run the Tory party for the last 150 years.
This gal is not going to lead the Conservatives back to power. She has advocated for even more mass immigration in the past. If anything, she will likely be even worse than Sunak. The only way forward for the poor souls in Britain is a party like Britain First. The Conservatives over there are even worse than the Republicans over here.
The Tories blew it when they discarded Enoch Powell.
And to think the Brits used to “rule the world”. Look where they are now with liberalism, DEI, woke-ness, leftists and so forth. LOL! More popcorn!
The sun still never sets on their leftist woke warmongering propaganda empire.
They want some other folks to die to save their pathetic joke of a country.
England is the world’s banking hub surrounded by slums patrolled by muslim enforcers.
Here’s hoping...
UK parties change leaders more than the Federation in Starship Troopers.
Would you like to know more?
“The Tories blew it when they discarded Enoch Powell.”
Agreed.
“We will not talk right and govern left.”
“We will renew by starting from first principles: we can’t control immigration until we re-confirm our belief in the nation state and the sovereign duty it has, above all else, to serve its own citizens.”
I wish her and the UK well.
Unfortunately, the five years under Labour probably will be hell.
Citizenship is not just about having a passport.
It is a commitment to a country and the people in it.
A country belongs to its citizens. It is nothing without them.
We cannot treat their needs or concerns as secondary or inconvenient or of a lower priority than anyone else’s.
People should not be made to feel guilty for questioning levels of immigration, legal or illegal, if it is changing the place they know and love.
And government should not be shy of doing whatever it takes to change things.
If people don’t want their taxes to pay for foreign criminals to be in our jails or on our streets, those criminals should be removed.
If they want local people to have priority for housing, for benefits, for school places, we must make that happen.
Our country is not a dormitory for people just here to make money or a hotel for those passing through.
It is our home and no one else will look after it.

The foundation of our society is not the individual; it is the family.
Whether it’s the family we’re born into or the family we build.
My family is everything to me. It’s everything to most of us.
Sometimes government just doesn’t get family.
It wants to help with childcare, not because it loves children, but so their mums can get back to work quickly.
We need to celebrate families.
We need to place them at the centre of our policies and our actions.
For the good of society, not for the good of the Treasury.
“Badenoch promised to “renew” the party and told cheering supporters it was “time to get down to business”.”
WOW! Such inspiring words!
I hope she’s more of a real conservative than Establishment Tories like Sunak.
She’s another plant that will take the Tories down. Maybe that’s a good thing. They are beyond repair, much like the Pubs and Dems.
